The true power comes from Space Monkey's software, which acts behind the scenes to chunk out your data into smaller pieces, encrypt it, and store it on other Space Monkey devices that are networked by other people just like you. This significantly reduces the costs associated with cloud storage, not having a large data center means Space Monkey gives you 1TB of data for only $10 per month. (Read More)
